Scientists Invent Oxygen Particle That If Injected, Allows You To Live Without Breathing

New Medical Discovery

A team of scientists at the Boston Children’s Hospital have invented what is being considered one the greatest medical breakthroughs in recent years. They have designed a microparticle that can be injected into a person’s bloodstream that can quickly oxygenate their blood. This will even work if the ability to breathe has been restricted, or even cut off entirely.

This is definitely one of the best medical breakthroughs ever. I wonder if one day patients will be able to use it for longer periods of time. Like for example if a person's lungs are totally shot, perhaps they can live the rest of their lives this way. I don't know, but even its short term effects will save lives.. so it's a great start that's for sure.

The examples of uses are pretty fascinating.  Makes me wonder. Could it be used to keep organs alive?  Like transplant organs or the futurama heads for instance?
